Celebrate winter by creating a festive botanical drawing taking inspiration from winter fruit, foliage, or branches with the guidance of botanical artist Dorota Haber-Lehigh. You may work in your sketchbook, paper of your choice, or perhaps, create a winter-themed holiday card. Although Haber-Lehigh will demonstrate techniques realistically, individual styles are encouraged and celebrated.
